Battery test between the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to see which phone offers better battery life.
TEST NOTES:
Both phones were new with 100% battery health.
Screens were calibrated to 200 nits with auto-brightness turned off.
Speakers calibrated to the nearest decibel count.
Tested within equal distance of a mini cell tower.
Tested in a temperature-controlled environment.
In the KZbin test, "Ambient Mode" was accidentally left on for the iPhone. This likely created a slight disadvantage for the iPhone (we estimate a less than 1% difference).

I recently switched from the S22 Ultra to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I love how smoothly it runs. Both phones are great, but my main issue with Android has always been the occasional software lag and security concerns.

8:30 [Please ignore my English if there is a mistake] Those who are confused after watching Mrwhosetheboss and PhoneBuff's battery life test videos please take some moment to understand the apps optimization. They both tested the difference sets of apps on their battery test videos. Some apps are better optimized for Android and some are for iOS. Optimize apps always take less battery or more efficient. So, it's normal to see some battery life different with different sets of apps. Also, the OS optimization takes huge role in battery life. Mrwhosetheboss tested early version of iOS. Maybe after that apple optimize the software for iPhone 16 Pro Max. There are many things that can affect the battery life. Even, you will not get the same result for same phone in two tests. Anything can happen…

Battery is the key thing I look for in smartphones and although the S24U and the 16PM in the previous vid where very close the battery improvements will be what makes it a 'better' device imo. Specs will only do so machine terms of performance, yet we still have some apps to further optimise and iOS 18 hasn't been that strong thus far so I can imagine the 16PM getting stronger once the S25U comes out..,

NEVER. 28 are completely made up.

[@SuperZap01]

I think one big factor also aside from optimization is that Apple uses the newer 'M14' display tech that's more efficient while being more bright. Guess who made this impressive OLED screen tech? Right, Samsung. Samsung is also reportedly gonna use this for their upcoming S25 series, plus with more efficient 3nm SoC. Will be interesting to see if S25 can be on par with iPhone by then. Samsung faired well despite the disadvantages like app optimization, older screen tech, 4nm chip. Still it is impressive to think how long iPhone can last if they adapt at least 5000mah of battery, still boggles me why they won't do this yet and decides to give incremental upgrade.

Why does the Galaxy have a dark wallpaper, ambient mode in youtube turned off and nav bar as buttons? Doesn't seem fair as this saves battery with the OLED screen...

This is the problem with Android and even Windows, it's required more hardware like Apple, and those are also working with electricity.. you can't ignore the physics.. 8 cores vs 6 cores and 12GB RAM vs 8GB RAM all required power from the battery, and you can guess which one need more battery.

What is crazy here? It's only 7% diff and the Galaxy is almost an year old now. I expected 16 pro max wins atleast 20-25% margin. And who told apple to keep less capacity battery? They can't increase because that's how it's internals are designed they can't fit a bigger battery due to other internals. They increased the size to 6'9 inch to increase battery size but still could manage to keep only that much battery.

Whenever my Samsung phone starts to drain the battery faster than usual, it's usually because of a specific update that hasn't been done. There are 4 or 5 things that needs to be checked & you need to make sure its all updated. Follow the steps below and update whatever needs to be updated. Once you have gone through all the steps and if you've updated everything then your phones battery life should be fine afterwards. I still have a Samsung s22 ultra(exynos) and I get between 8-10 hours of screen on time when everything is updated on my phone. These steps will work on any Samsung phone even the latest s24 ultra so if your battery is draining fast then just follow these steps below and I'm sure it will solve the problem. Go to settings Scroll down and click on 'Software update' Click on 'Update & install' If there's an update available then do the update. Once it's completed, move on to the next step. Go to Settings In the search bar, search for 'Google play system update' Click on 'Google play system update' If there's an update available then do the update. Restart phone once update has completed. Go to Play Store Click on your profile in top right corner Click on 'Manage apps and device' Click on 'Updates available' Click on 'Update all' Click on 'Back' Make sure it says 'All apps are up to date' Go to Store or Galaxy Store Click on 'Menu' Click on 'Updates' Click on 'Update all' Once completed, make sure it says 'All apps are up to date' Go to Settings In the search bar, search for: 'Device care settings' Click on 'About device care' Click on 'Update security engine' Restart phone Wipe cache partition: Switch off phone Connect phone to pc or mac using Usb-C cable When it starts charging, hold down the power button and volume up button simultaneously When the Samsung logo appears, let go of buttons When the menu appears, press volume down button & scroll down to Wipe cache partition Press volume down button and Select 'yes' by pressing power button Once it's wiped the cache partition Press power button to restart phone That's it. Your battery life should be a lot better after following these steps!

It would be interesting to see how the Samsung and the iPhone were configured before the test. At the moment I don't know the possible settings of the iPhone system, but being the owner of a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, I know for sure that there are 3-4 settings that, depending on how they are set, can increase performance at the expense of battery consumption. For example, the resolution of the screen, the performance profile, etc. Finally, you have to consider recharging the pen that incorporates the Samsung (during the test the S Pen was inserted into the Samsung and therefore was constantly charging?) Without the knowledge of this detail, this kind of video is not credible.

[@gormdenorm678]

I knew there was something wrong with the test MrWhoseThatBoss made, my comment got a lot of hate over there. But clearly this test clarifies absolutly everything. Also find it incredibe that the iPhone wins despite its battery capacity being smaller than the samsung. Just goes to show that the operating system on the phones probably has a lot to say in terms of battery drainage. Apple has really focused on optimizing the operating system making it use less power for each operation. Samsung is still in the lead in features do and Apple slowly falling behind. But in terms of optimizing and user experience I believe Apple really wins this one. Also night pics on the Samsung are really noisy and the color looks way off in my opinion. Thanks for the test PhoneBuff! :D
